Distribution of the anther-smut pathogen Microbotryum on species of the Caryophyllaceae Academic Article uri icon

Resumen

  • Understanding disease distributions is of fundamental and applied importance, yet few studies benefit from integrating broad sampling with ecological and phylogenetic data. Here, anther‐smut disease, caused by the fungus Microbotryum, was assessed using herbarium specimens of Silene and allied genera of the Caryophyllaceae.
